Lyrian fell into a type of ditative trance and cultivated for a few more minutes before opening his eyes once again, breaking his concentration from the cultivation.
After opening his eyes he could no longer feel the mana in his system. Clenching his fists, however, Lyrian felt a hint of newfound power.
Although it was barely recognizable, it was definitely there.
This caused a small grin to appear on his face. He wanted to cultivate more right now but also knew that it would be too dangerous if his parents found out.
Lyrian thought that there was a clear reason why they were hiding the books from him, and no matter what that reason was, letting them find out that he had stolen them would cause him to feel guilty, and might even result in so sort of punishnt.
He didn't care about the punishnt, however, as he had gone through enough of that, and these people were his parents after all.
What he did care about was the bad impression that they would have of him. He wanted to avoid making his parents feel disappointed at any cost.
Although this was true, what Lyrian did not know was that creating his own style of mana absorption was sothing that no normal person could do.
In fact, it hadn't been in the records of humanity for several millennia…
He was able to do this not with the help of the system, but due to his ill knowledge of the subject, and also his sheer will, sothing unique to only him.
'I will have to find a place and ti to cultivate on my own.' Lyrian thought to himself.
'Gear.'
[Yes?]
'Open up the quest nu.'
Lyrian took a look at the Workout sub-quest that was a part of the main quest of Becoming Stronger before beginning to complete each task one by one.
Of course, he was only a child, so completing them wouldn't be easy. It wasn't like he had a choice anyway though.
Seasons passed by like feathers in the wind. During that ti, Lyrian had focused on becoming stronger, completing his tasks every day, while also making sure he cultivated here and there when he had the ti.
Currently, he stood inside his room after completing his second to last set of push-ups for the day, hands on his bare waist with sweat dripping down his body.
For a 6-year-old, his body was definitely toned. Nothing extre, but athletic.
He stood at the height of 3ft 11in (119.38 cm), with blonde hair and a pair of brilliant azure eyes.
'Gear, tell how much progress I've made with the mana.'
[Current mana in core: 10.00231/100]
Lyrian sighed in exasperation. The progress with his body had been good so far, but his mana was far behind.
His cultivation technique, which he nad 'Gale', wasn't horrible, as he had made enough progress to feel it in his body whenever he moved, but that might have just been from the workouts themselves.
Mostly, he blad not having the ti to cultivate, as he rarely was allowed to leave the house.
But recently, his mother had begun to beco more lenient with him leaving on his own.
Just the other day, Grasus and Rosa were having a conversation with each other about the things they disagreed with. It was sothing they did often to resolve any conflicts between them.
That's when Grasus brought up the fact that I was inside too much.
"Listen, the boy needs to get out and make so friends. You can't just expect him to stay inside all day."
Rosa wasn't pleased to hear this, being the over-protective person that she was.
"Why can't I expect that? Don't you know how they treat us? How do you think they will treat him?" He said in a worried tone.
Grasus paused for a mont before speaking. He knew that she had a point, but also knew that there were other, more important things.
"We just have to ask him to be careful. He is a very smart boy, a genius in fact! He will understand. And besides, having a little trouble here and there will toughen him up a bit."
As he said this, Grasus noticed Rosa's face turn to one of confusion. It was almost screaming 'Are you serious right now?' to his face.
He quickly tried to make up for it.
"You know what my father used to say to ? Take a spoon, dig it into so gravel, take a bite, and toughen the hell up, brat!"
He proudly proclaid, but quickly realized that he made a mistake when he saw Rosa's disappointed look.
"Your father was a war general!" She yelled, making Grasus laugh nervously and scratch the back of his head as he thought of other ways to make up.
Their conversation continued for a while, but in the end they had decided to let Lyrian go out on his own from ti to ti, of course, not without ti restrictions and other rules.
Lyrian had left the house and explored the city a couple of tis by now. In truth, all he was doing was looking for a place to cultivate.
Friends? What even were those? How does one make friends? He didn't have a clue.
Right now, he was focused on power and power only.
After resting enough, Lyrian dropped back down and completed his final set of the day.
'98…99…100!'
*Ding* [Congratulations! You have completed your Workout quest for the day]
'Hmm? Gear doesn't usually congratulate for this task.'
*Ding* [365th workout completed!]
